I took her out for a drive to do some logging, man this has power. I haven't opened it up yet, I want to go easy on it till its broken in. I put the factory tune back in with TM at 50%, and I now know what TM feels like, its like I let off the gas on the shift.

Now I have never driven a vehicle with a high stall before, but man this trailblazer stall is loose. It is a lot looser then I thought it would be. I wouldn't want it any looser.

I am very happy with the power, it really hauls the mail. I can see tire wear being a issue.

 

Cool, that's the setup (aside from the cam) that should have come from the factory in the Z71's.

So...the question is: what does that converter flash stall to?

 

I think they should come with 6.0 and cam

Whats the best way to measure flash stall. I tried to brake stall it to see what rpm it would go up to, but the tires started turning, and I lost interest in the tach. What I can say is, driving in OD 1600rpm locked, a blip of the throttle, unlocked 2600 rpm.

 

You could put it in 4Hi, go WOT from a dead stop...that will tell you also. But it unlocking on the freeway sounds right.

They should come with that setup no doubt, I just don't think they could get away with that cam also.

 

congrats man - must be rewarding after the swap

 

6.0's rule!! to get your stall speed put it in 4hi and floor it. rpms will rise quickly then sit at one spot for a sec or so, then rise again, where they pause at is your stall speed.

 

Well I did a 4-hi launch this morning, and it stalled up to 2600rpm. I did a G-tech on the run it was 13.942 at 97.76mph 2.086 60FT. I know it will do alot better then that, I didn't get a good launch, and I didn't put my foot in it all the way. I have the shift points set at 5800 1-2 and 5600 2-3, and it feels like its shifting at 4000, because it gets there so quick.

How much timing is everybody running at WOT. I am seeing only 22-24. I was running 30-31 in the 5.3. I want to tune for 89 octane.

 

Sweet! i will have a near identical setup. except my cam i a hair bigger (216-220) and my stall is a (3000) on top of that, im gonna have the whipple with 10 psi of intercooled boost. It would be the shiznit if i could skip the 13's and hit 12's my best time so far is only a 14.4 at the track (no stall or cam and only 6psi).

We need a pic!

 

ok here are some pics
